The DE&S Future Capability Group delivery team total spend on equipment by financial year is as follows:

FY

Total spend (£million)

2019-20

42.955

2020-21

30.030

2021-22

45.781

2022-23

198.298

The Future Capability Group delivery team total spend on operating costs by financial year is as follows:

FY

Total spend (£million)

2019-20

5.882

2020-21

7.641

2021-22

8.943

2022-23

11.342

The Future Capability Group delivery team is a specific project team in DE&S and the figures above represent the total spend of that team. The figure does not represent the total spend on all Future Capability projects across Defence which would not be held centrally and would not be answerable without a disproportionate cost.
